We have been beating the heck out of our Losi Super Baja Rey, and not only have we been having a blast with it the truck, it has proven itself to be super durable. We continue to dish out the abuse, and the Super Baja Rey continues to ask for more! Whenever we have the space, it has been our [...]

We recently stopped by the Hobbico offices where we handed off the latest Basher Approved Award for the Team Durango DEX408v2 Buggy. Scott Cramer did the honors of accepting the award for the Durango folks while we were in town. The DEX408v2 has been hard to pry from Cubby’s hands. When he called it one of the best jumping vehicles [...]

It’s time to hand out another Basher Approved Award. This time up we have the Futaba 4PL! We have had a 4PL around the office for a while now, and it’s been great. It’s taken a beating in and out of pit boxes, been dropped on the floor a half a dozen times, sometimes on purpose, and it just [...]

Around the end of November a buzz starts to happen around the office. People start chatting, discussing, then arguing about what vehicles should be considered for our “BASH VEHICLE of the YEAR” award. This years decision was EXTREMELY close. Last years winner, the Thunder Tiger MT4 was a little easier to settle on, but this year there were two standouts. [...]

Yes, it has been a while, but we don’t just hand these things out to anyone who wants to toss us cash like the other industry awards. The Basher Approved award is probably one of the most sought after awards in the RC world because companies actually have to EARN it! It’s our stamp of approval, and we [...]

We have been arguing discussing what vehicle we thought deserves the honor of Big Squid RC’s Bash Vehicle of the Year for a while now. A lot of great vehicles have driven over our desks this year, and while I think it was close between several, one really stood out. Thunder Tiger MT4-G3 Monster Truck This year’s winner of Bash Vehicle [...]

We take our BASHER APPROVED award very seriously around here, and it’s rare when we hand one out. That being said, we would like to congratulate the Sunshine Systems folks on their LED Ground Effects Kit getting the latest award. You can read our full review of light kit here. We have seen a good handful of light systems [...]

So we just updated the Basher Approved section with two new entries. I’ll let you read all about it in that section, but on the left is Scott Cramer accepting the award for the Duratrax Evader DT truck, and on the right in his best pose yet is Peter Vieira from Traxxas accepting the award [...]

While we were out at the Short Course Showdown we had a chance to hand out two more Basher Approved ™ awards. It’s always more fun to do these in person, then to just mail them out. On the left is Erik Shauver from HPI Racing accepting the award for the [...]

As we were getting the web page updated, it occurred to me that while we have handed out a few Basher Approved ™ awards, we didn’t update the official page! So we have updated the page giving the Traxxas Slash 2wd as well as the Team EDS Racing Tools the recognition they deserve. Check out the Basher Approved [...]

So, stopped by the Traxxas booth early day 1 to present them with an official Basher Approved Award for the Traxxas Slash. Without a doubt the Traxxas Slash is deserving of one of the highest RC awards right now. It’s cheap, it’s fun, and it takes a beating like nothing else! Peter Vieira did the accepting [...]

It is with great pleasure that we can award RPM RC Products the first ever Basher Approved Lifetime Achievement Award! We feel that Richard (seen here accepting the award) and his group at RPM are the absolute ideal company creating amazingly durable products for the RC industry and bashers all over the world. Their products are designed and created [...]

Big Squid Shirts are now available!!! The first ones available to the public are the ‘Basher Approved’ shirts! They look awesome! I tried to keep the prices as low as possible. Since they aren’t being mass produced.. they are not as cheap as I would of liked… but at the moment it’s the best we [...]
